#KeepItOn In Libya: Authorities Must Ensure Internet Connectivity In Tobruk, Across NationControlling and restricting internet access violates human rights. “Authorities in Libya cannot use their power to assert dominance over freedom of speech and access to information across the country,” said Felicia Anthonio, #KeepItOn Campaign Manager at Access Now. “Internet shutdowns are a new repressive tactic added to the authorities’ long list of human rights violations and attempts to restrict the internet in Libya,” said Marwa Fatafta, MENA Policy and Advocacy Manager at Access Now. Access Now and its partners call on authorities at all levels in Libya to guarantee access to the internet across the country. We will continue to monitor the situation in Libya and provide more information regarding the internet shutdowns documented in the country.
